Inverted frown

It seemed eons ago since that tragedy trembled her humor.

Those Friday nights when they sat at home in front of the tube.
Laughing their heart out.

In a blink of an eye, the moments were gone.
Even the memories were wiped out by her fury.
Her tears of laughter turned inevitably to that of sadness.

She loathed the sight of the thieves who robbed her of such joy.
They tried to amuse her but she only grieved some more.

Now, a decade has passed.
All's forgotten. All has passed.

But then again, nothing lasts forever.

Tonight, a Friday night.
She found herself giggling once more.

Then it hit her.
How can something that took her laughter once,
be the very thing that now tickles her heart.
